We had a great time 😁

(but also, when my brain tells me no one likes me, I have to remember moments like this)

I convinced two of my best friends and my Sister-in-law to go to the greater Philadelphia area tomorrow for the sole purpose of visiting FOUR romance bookstores. It'll be a whole day trip - 2hrs, visit two bookstores in NJ, lunch, visit two bookstores in PA, 2 hrs home.

Suckers.

It was really scary for a moment, even though in the end I was fine. My husband reminded me that you have to take care of yourself before you can help anyone else. Today could have ended very differently and I only had myself (okay, and the sun) to blame.

My mom that I needed to lay down in the grass, and did so. Thankfully, that was all I needed in that moment. Ten minutes, in the shade, with my fan on my face. And my mom and niece nearby. And when we got back to the car I chugged my water and turned the AC on high.

I really needed to be in the shade, so as I walked the 20ft or so to a shady bench my knees felt wobbly and my vision was starting to go black around the edges. I sat in the shade for just a moment starting to worry I was going to pass out and my mother and niece wouldn't be able to help me. I told

As I was pushing my niece on a swing, I started not feeling great so I sat down (still in the sun) and let my mom push her. But I got back up and walked over to them when she needed to get out. As we were standing I started to feel kind of sick and went to sit. But after sitting I realized

My mom & I took my niece (3) apple picking. I brought a hat and water with me but left both in my car bc I prioritized what my niece needed. We weren't out long in the field before getting back to the barn and sharing an apple cider slushy. We went down to the a petting zoo and a playground, but

First things first, I'm absolutely fine now.
But today I came thisclose to passing out from a combination of dehydration and the heat (probably impacted a bit by my SSRI too). Drink water & stay out of the sun, y'all.
A story:

I know it's not local news (and that you already wrote a post for today), but what about a post about the revamp of Reading Rainbow with a new host? You could draft it now and use it for a future "no blog day."

Sir, did you even catch the typo in this one?

That's my typical covid booster side effect. It's the worst.

We have appointments to double up tomorrow. 🤞🏻 I've never had an issue, but husband is getting his first flu shot ever (he had the flu earlier this year and was miserable and never wants that experience), so here's hoping he doesn't get achy or anything

Oohh she is so pretty. That half face coloring.

I was telling my therapist today about just a sliver of the things that are happening to people I love very much right now, and every new thing was just another pile of crap. She reminded me that right now, we all just have to pace ourselves. (And it's okay to dissociate every once in a while)

Honey. Call me.

I made book-themed rapture memes.

Illustration of three people standing on a hill beneath a huge orange sun. Large black text at the top reads: ‘It’s a Beautiful Day to Yell At God.’ One figure raises their arms and shouts ‘WHAT THE FUCK?’ while another says ‘COME OUT! WE JUST WANNA TALK.’ Bold text in the corner says ‘FACE US YOU COWARD.’

Happy Rosh Hashanah y'all.

If the rapture happens today, I'll be at synagogue for Rosh Hashanah. I think that means I'm automatically excluded. Oh well.

I can only do one book per format at a time. And it's screwy when there are similar themes...

There's a whole musical about it.

Every once in a while it'd be great if people looked at a calendar and avoided scheduling events over major religious holidays. Especially when people would never think about scheduling something over Christmas or Easter.

I don't know about you folks, but I plan to deadname the Defense Department every chance I get.

Hi, hello, I have bought so many books and I still have to bring them all home.

I saw this pin today and thought of you .. I didn't buy it but took a pic to share
